Hartle Principal By JOYSCHEIFELE The Ailsa Craig Presbyterian Church was filled Sunday evening as the W.M.S. held their annual Spring Offering and Family Night. Mrs. L.A. Wright of Kerwood was guest speaker for the evening. Born and raised in Jamaica, Mrs. Wright is currently a high school . Biology and chemistry teacher in Sarnia. “There are two million people in Jamaica”, Mrs. Wright explained, “And half of the total population is located in the city of Kingston.” She outlined how 40 per cent of the population is illiterate and the tremendous need for teachers and schools on the island. The children begin school at four years of age and by the time they are 11 they have entered into secondary school. It is not unusal for a teacher to have up to sixty and more pupils at one time.”When the young people graduate from school they give two years voluntary service to the country, ■ working for only subsistent wages. Tourism, sugar and boxite are the main sources of income for the island and only 51 per cent of the boxite mining shares are owned by the people and government of Jamaica. “The country does not wish to mechanize its sugar industry,” she told her audience, “as it would put thousands out of work.” The St. George’s Anglican Church from London Township provided special music for the evening. A musical group including two violins a saxophone, drums, guitar and the organ played several numbers. Home and School McGillivray Home and School Association held their annual meeting in the school gym Monday evening, April 17. The guest speaker was Miss Eileen Campbell, resource teacher for English with the Middlesex Board of Education, who spoke on “Learning the right to be wrong.” Mrs. Marg Stone, president of the Middlesex Council of Home and School, installed the new officers for the coming school year.
